Your rights would be stronger as a British Citizen, do you intend to naturalise? It sounds as if you may be currently eligible to apply. (As an EU citizen you would gain additional rights.)
It is worth your while consulting with a immigration specialist.
John,
Yes, I do intend to naturalise. Which way do I go for this Exceptional leave. I do have family in SA but that is just the problem. They are living with family and was told the other day that she intends trowing them out as "they do not contribute enough to the household". I have also found out that they got my eldest to buy a house with them. He is paying the full mortage of R5000 per month and still have to pay R2000 board and lodging on top of that as well as work for her husband in his free time "to pay his keep". The younger one has to pay all his weekly wages to them as well for board and lodging. It is worse than I thought. :bigcry:
Will this Exceptional Leave help though as I only brought them up from toddlers 2 and 3 years old and did not legally adopt them?
